Is Deb missing? Newly single Hugh Jackman reveals embarrassing kitchen failure after splitting from his wife of 27 years
Hugh Jackman may need help in the kitchen after splitting from his long-term wife Deborra-Lee Furness.
The Australian actor, who is a single man for the first time in 27 years, shared a glimpse into the lackluster reality of his bachelor life on Instagram Stories on Thursday.
To the amusement of his fans, the 54-year-old shared a photo of his dishwasher exploding with soapy water after a disastrous attempt to wash several cups and plastic containers.
The Wolverine star simply accompanied the post with an “Oops!” symbol.
Using the wrong detergent or using too much product are common causes of the dishwasher overflowing with suds.

While Hugh once called on his estranged wife, 67, for help, it appears the star may have been forced to deal with his domestic disaster alone.
Hugh and Deborra-Lee shocked fans earlier this month when they announced they were divorcing after 27 years of marriage.
“We were fortunate to spend almost three decades together in a wonderful, loving marriage. “Our journey is now changing and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth,” the couple said in a statement obtained by PEOPLE earlier this month.

“Our family has always been and continues to be our highest priority.” We approach this next chapter with gratitude, love and kindness. We thank you very much for your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family navigates this transition.”
The former couple signed the statement “Deb and Hugh Jackman” and added: “This is the only statement either of us will make.”
The Australian couple shares two children together; Oscar, 23, and Ava, 18.

The couple celebrated their anniversary last April and Jackman posted a gushing tribute to his wife on Instagram.
“I love you, Deb.” Today is our 27th wedding anniversary. 27 years! “I love you so much,” the actor wrote in his caption.
“Together we have created a beautiful family.” And life. Your laughter, your spirit, your generosity, your humor, your sass, your courage and your loyalty are an incredible gift to me. “I love you with all my heart,” he shared in the heartfelt post.
Although he is undoubtedly better known than his wife, Deborra-Lee had already made 20 films when she and Jackman met in 1995, appearing as a prison psychologist and brain-damaged convict in ABC TV’s 10-part series Correlli.
Deborra-Lee most recently played Jill Bailey opposite Eric Bana in Robert Connolly’s sequel Force of Nature: The Dry 2, which was released in Australian and New Zealand cinemas on August 24.
In February, Hugh told Smooth Radio: “I think about honesty and intimacy and taking your time.” [are the secret to a long and happy marriage]. You can’t just assume that everything is going well. “You have to take your time.”
The couple was married for 27 years before splitting up
